Video: Isaac Brock performs 'The World At Large' live with Broken Social Scene

I'm a big fan of Modest Mouse's frontman Isaac Brock, and am also quite fond of the Toronto collective Broken Social Scene. You can only imagine everyone's excitement when Brock unexpectedly showed up at Broken Social Scene's show at the Sound Academy in Toronto and performed the fantastic song "The World at Large" off Modest Mouse's 2004 release, Good News for People Who Love Bad News.

Isaac Brock and Broken Social Scene have both done incredible things for the independent music scene. Besides Modest Mouse, and Brock's great side project, Ugly Casanova, he did A&R for Sub Pop, and is responsible for connecting bands like the Shins, Iron & Wine, Wolf Parade, and Holopaw with the label. If it wasn't for him, some of your favorite musicians might have gone unheard. Broken Social Scene, on the other hand, has fostered the likes of Feist, Stars, Metric's Emily Haines, and other acclaimed musicians who have all been part of the collective. Enjoy.

As of a few days ago, I officially have 10,000 songs in my iTunes library. I have some more on my external hardrive, but this is the first time that I have had a month's worth of non-stop listening potential on my laptop. It's really hard to quantify... Read More

The anniversary of Nick Drake's death was on Tueday, and given that he is one of my favorite musicians, I feel it's important to recognize him through a post. There are still many people who haven't come across Drake's music, and his sound can... Read More

A year ago, Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma Forever Ago, was the only album I could listen to. It was one of the most beautiful albums I'd ever heard, and I was fixated with Justin Vernon's falsetto and guitar playing. The album received critical... Read More
